EQ Investors in its current form was founded in 2014. It boasts the rather unusual feature of a beach-style relaxation area in the office complete with deck chairs, rattan sofas, bright parasols and striped deckchairs.

Although EQ was launched in October 2014, it was born out of a long established business – Truestone Asset Management. The origins of the business go back to 1987.

Mr Kenner said: “Since buying the business, John Spiers the founder of Bestinvest has been driving the business forward. Over the course of the last two years, we’ve launched a bespoke discretionary investment service and a robo-advice proposition – it’s been a busy few years.”

Among many topics discussed in the article, Mr Kenner explains how EQ is encouraging staff to train for Chartered Financial Planner status.
